Exactly. The average bettor's only "inside information" is what they're seeing on their Auntie Doris' facebook page. I'll bet a good chunk of the dopes betting on Trump are the same ones who've been on r_thedonald for the past five years talking about how the arrest of Obama and Hillary are "imminent."
